Why do people want to put fruit in their king cake?

I just don't get it. It's a perfectly good king cake, why does it need fricking blueberries? I can understand Bavarian cream and cream cheese maybe, but i just don't get the fruit filling. Even praline filling is a stretch.

I also do not understand how some "plain" king cakes do not even have cinnamon. What is this, french bread with icing?

King cake is overrated and the fillings make it better.

They have their purpose I guess. I don't really consider them king cakes though. The Zulu one from Ambrosia (I think) is really good.

Because regular king cake is dry as shite and good for little else than ring toss.

Because it tastes good?

I love the king cake with the cream cheese and strawberries or blueberries. So good!

Why do you hate Mardi Gras?

Not if it's made right. I agree a lot of places can't make a regular king cake worth a shite. But if it's done right it's not a big dry loaf with icing.

I just don't get the flavor combination. I also don't understand jelly donuts.

I guess enough people like it though. If there's one thing that there is honestly no logical argument for, it's personal taste in food.
